A Darling Head’s Death, a hybrid piece by Cassidy Howard


The daughter of a journalist and a songwriter, Cassidy Howard was born into a life full of words. Through the years, Cassidy has assumed many hobbies, interests, and passions. She has recently come to realize the common thread between each of her creative pastimes is simply a contribution to the universal human connection through storytelling. Photography, videography, artwork, writing, and even cooking have led Cassidy to unearth an internal fire for sharing her heart with others in the hopes of encouraging them to do the same. As a Christian, Cassidy sees the intrinsic value of each person’s individual experience as our imperfection relates to the beautiful, perfect redemption of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Cassidy is a Junior at the University of the Cumberlands majoring in Communications and minoring in Creative Writing.
